I'm bored and nobody will read this, so here's a few of my favourite things this year!

I have read the ashes and bones. A time of challenge is coming, my loves. There will be those who tell you that it can only be overcome with strength and coldness, but this is never true. Endurance ends with gentle rain and growing things - with love and care for each other.

Once you stick refugees on a plane and fly them to Rwanda against their wishes, you become one of those 'evil people smugglers' yourself.

Our new partnership with Rwanda shows we can no longer accept the status quo. People are dying and the global migration crisis requires us to find new ways to work in partnership. It will deal a major blow to the evil people smugglers. This is what it means 👇🏽

Caught this Blue Tit whilst out ringing and saw it had one of my old rings on it. Turns out I ringed it back in 2015, the year it hatched, meaning it's reached the ripe old age of six and a half years old. That's over double their average lifespan!

Genuinely interested in what impact Institute of Physics' sponsored TikTok videos might have on the number of girls who study physics A-Level. There are already great physicists/science communicators/teachers creating TikTok content: will social media influencers have more luck?

For the holidays I gift you a gentle thought. Imagine a mouse, small and soft and gray. See it curled in a little ball, its paws over its nose, its tail tucked cozy between its knees. It is safe and warm in its burrow of yellow leaves. It snores softly. Sighs.

You will find many quotes that warn against smallness, against peace, against "settling." I am here to tell you that if you find joy and rest and warmth in a place and time that it is the greatest achievement of mankind. You are richer than kings. It is real power.

No one will ever give you permission to be the thing you want to be. You already are. Congratulations.

Thank you for submitting your audition for the next series of #LineofDuty but we’re looking for a character with at least one redeeming moral principle and a performance that places even just a scintilla of doubt in the audience’s mind that he might not be totally bent
